The Promises They Look Great!!... You can tell a Hexagraph is different just by looking at it. In a world of plain black sticks, each trying to be different, these golden chestnut beauties stand alone. But their beauty lies well beyond their looks. Hexagraphs provide exceptional performance combining unmatched accuracy and amazing power. They are durable beyond belief. The Hexagraph is a complete merger of tradition and technology; a perfect blend of class, quality and value. They Fish Great!!... The true measure of a fine fly rod lies in its ability to deliver "spot-on" accuracy under a variety of conditions. Hexagraphs are built from six segmented graphite strips. This allows full unity and continuity of action, along the entire length of the rod. Unlike a tubular rod, the solid blank does not have a "designed-in" load point, nor does it deform and flatten into an oval when it is bent. Our full-flexing actions and variable loading points make them surgically accurate, and versatile with all types of casts. The "feel" and "touch" of a Hexagraph will amaze and please you. And just when you discover all their delicacy and precision, you'll then marvel at the reserve power they produce for those few times you need that extra long cast or to control and extra-large trophy. They Don't Break!!...Since the Hexagraph blank is solid, it is much stronger than the equivalent hollow rod. Hexagraph breakage rates are far lower than for tubular graphite rods (like, ten times lower - read warranty). The Hexagraph does what you need it to do - every time - and it keeps doing it for years! The Hexagraph Line-Up Hexagraph Fly Rods are built on a series of straight, uniform tapers. We utilize several different taper formulas to create our line up of rod lengths, actions and line weights. Then, we outfit your Hexagraph with the components, cosmetics and finish options that suit your personal tastes, preferences and fishing needs. We build Hexagraphs in a variety of models, with a length, line weight, and action to fit almost any fly-fishing challenge. From the tiny and delicate 5' 9", 3-wt. in our Small Stream Series to the 9' 6", 8- and 9-wt. power rods in our Salmon and Saltwater models, you can put a "Hex" on almost anything you're after. Your new Hexagraph, custom built to your specific order, will be a workhorse you'll turn to day in and day out, but the aesthetic detail we employ in our finishing will make it a family keepsake at the same time.

A word about the Hexagraph from Dave Botelho

Everyone has a river or lake they consider their home water. For me that is a small river here in my native New England. I've fished these waters for years with my two Hexagraph small stream series rods. My first Hexagraph is a little 6' 2", 2 weight, just right for presenting size 22 dry flies to sipping Brook trout deep under overhanging branches that line the river. The rod still has the reserve power to launch a big size 12 Royal Wulf in the bigger pools to aggressively rising trout. That's the beauty of the Hexagraph, they are not just pretty rods they are working rods. Line speed and length of casts are adjustable, like shifting gears in a car. MY other Hexagraph is a 7"6" 3-4 weight selected to better fish the stocked areas of the river. Strong wind, longer casts and huge fish are often the order of the day; but a delicate presentation is still mandatory on this heavily fished river.

I love my Hexagraph rods and am delighted to be able to offer the rods. The Hexagraph line of rods is full and complete; with everything from tiny rods for the smallest of freshwater fish to the saltwater rods capable of stopping the largest brutes in the ocean, and everything in between. Take a good look at them, I know you will be as impressed with them as I am.

How to Choose Your Hexagraph

We build a complete range of lengths and line weights as indicated on the chart below. First, select the length, line weight and action to match your particular fishing challenge and then review the finish specifications and cosmetic options for each of the models we offer. There's a price range and a package of finish options to suit every need and preference. We indicate the suggested ranges for the various models, but we can build any rod in any form.

Actions

Hexagraphs are classic full-flexing rods that load at variable points along their length depending upon any given cast. The actions are deliberate, delicate, flowing and ultimately pleasing. They are more versatile than those of today's fast tip-action hollow tubular rods. Our medium action produces a tradtional cane-type stroke, the medium-fast is just a bit quicker. Each of the actions possesses plenty of power for distance and fish control when needed.
